Kansas State Fair reports large loss from several events
The Associated Press
HUTCHINSON — A big loss on the show by rock group Third Eye Blind led to a deficit of $44,510 on grandstand shows at the Kansas State Fair, according to preliminary figures.
Third Eye Blind was guaranteed $100,000 for its appearance, but drew a crowd of only 2,055. Even after the band reduced its guarantee to $95,000, the fair still came up short $57,485, fair officials said Wednesday.
Overall, the fair made money on four grandstand acts and lost on nine others.
The most successful by far was the appearance by the hard rock group Def Leppard, which was a near sellout. The fair made a $77,286 profit on that show.
Creedence Clearwater Revisited drew a small crowd of 2,184 paying fans, but the group's fee was only $72,500 leaving the fair with a $10,935 profit.
The Friday night Bull Blast earned $1,532 for the fair, while the AMA Motocross event generated a $1,764 profit
Aside from Third Eye Blind, the biggest moneylosers for the fair were the Party Pack at $22,998; the PRCA Rodeo at $18,276; Dwight Yoakam, Cledus T. Judd and Sons of the Desert at $12,186; and afternoon car races at $2,050. The final night's concert by LFO and Youngstown cost the fair $1,586.
Fair board member Mary Alice Lair said the reason the Third Eye Blind was a failure probably was because it was on a Sunday. The band appeals mostly to young people, and that was a school night.
Fair General Manager Bill Ogg said the fair thought it had a hit when it signed Third Eye Blind, which has sold out several 12,000- to 14,000-seat venues since its state fair performance.
He said the fair could spend a lot of money to bring big-name stars to the fair, but the downside would be a much more costly ticket.
"We could charge more, but that goes against our philosophy of having a wide range of entertainment that's affordable," Ogg said. "That said, I don't like seeing that $44,000 negative figure."
